Story Behind the Song
what can I say.......I've been in front of a TV screen for 3 days watching those unbelieveable scenes.......then, with a great sorrow, a new fear and an empty rage, I started to play a bass line just to fill the endless silence sourranding my heart.......music is a bridge of emotions.......
Lyrics
New York
Legnano 20.09.2001
“Just a life breath…just a dazzle in the wind….
You look at the sky, the deep blue filling your eyes…….
When a shadow falls on the roofs of New York
I’ll be a father…we’re having lunch together at one….
I’m on the top of the world…I’m one with the sun….
I feel strange…for the first time I feel Love….
I feel a sudden gloom…I can’t stop thinking about my son….
And all the voices with their stories
wrapped by a flame, in a flash fade away
New York, Love has gone
and the Faith has been betrayed by the enemies of Hope
New York, Love has gone…in the sky of New York….
He was a good man, now he’s just a hero’s name
“Run away, run away, you’re safe” while he was burning in the flames
I come from the East, but I don’t belong to the hate
that killed my sons in the ruins and now spits on my Faith
You can’t forget the desperation
You can’t forget those screams that in a flash faded away
New York, Love has gone
and the Faith has been betrayed by the enemies of Hope
New York, Love has gone…in your sky….
New York, Love has gone
and the Faith has been betrayed by the enemies of Hope
New York, Love has gone…in the sky of New York….
You can save the world with your bombs
You can talk of justice with the blood
People can stand no more sinking in this sorrow
Don’t submit to hate, the only way is Love
New York, Love has gone
and the Faith has been betrayed by the enemies of Hope
New York, Love has gone…in your sky….
New York hold on…New York hold on….
New York hold on…to tears….…hold on….”
